Marinades, Glazes, & Brines

Phat Sauces include all types of brines and can be used as marinades and glazes as well. Let me define them for you before we delve into specific recipes.

Marinades:

A marinade is a seasoned liquid mixture used to flavor and tenderize meat, seafood, or vegetables before cooking. Its primary purpose is to enhance the flavor and texture of the food by infusing it with herbs, spices, acids, and oils.

Glazes:

A glaze refers to a flavorful coating that forms on food as it cooks. It enhances the flavor of the food by adding a layer of taste and improves the appearance and texture of dishes. Glazes can be applied before or after cooking. They can add a shiny finish, seal in moisture, or even create a delightful crunch when caramelized.  A glaze can be sweet, savory, or tangy, depending on the desired effect!  

Brines:

Brine refers to a mixture of water and salt (sometimes other ingredients like sugar, herbs, or spices). It’s used to soak and marinate food items before cooking or preserving them.  Historically, brining was used to preserve meats and fish without refrigeration. Today, the main reason for brining is improved flavor and texture. The salt and other flavors in the brine infuse the meat, making it more flavorful. Brining also tenderizes and moisturizes meat, , enhancing its juiciness and tenderness.

Brine for Bone-In Chicken

  • Create small slits in the chicken so the brine reaches the core of the pieces. Place the raw pieces into Freezer Bags with enough Phat to coat the chicken. Seal the bag airtight & air free; refrigerate for at least 8 hrs. Remove the chicken from the Phat, let it rest 30 minutes prior to cooking. 


  • Bone-In Chicken can be Baked, Fried, or Grilled to minimum internal temperature of 165 F.


  • * If the chicken is in brine for more than 24 hours, the brine can make the Chicken mushy & overpower the taste of

Sweet & Sour Marinade

  • 4 chicken breasts (6oz)
  •        OR
  • 4 pork tenderloins (5oz)

Place the raw protein into a Freezer Bag with the marinade. Seal the bag airtight & air free; refrigerate for at least 4 hrs.  Remove the meat from the Phat, let it rest 30 minutes prior to cooking.  It can be Baked, Fried, or Grilled to minimum internal temperature of 165 F.

Lemon Dill Glaze (fish)

  • 4 cod filets (8oz)
  • or
  • 4 salmon filets (8oz)
  • 3 oz Original Dill Phat
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest 
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice 
  • 1 tsp Dill Weed


Whip the Dill Phat, Dill weed, lemon juice, and zest together. Brush or spoon (1 tbsp) the glaze over fish filets and bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.  Re-Glaze (1 tbsp) fish filets and bake until reaching minimum internal temperature of 145 F. (generally additional 6-8 min)

Dijon Dill Marinade/Sauce

Seal the bag, ensuring it's airtight and free of air, refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Remove the chops from the marinade and cook to minimum internal temp. 165°F. Heat the marinade to low boil and remove from heat, whisking in the yogurt.

I will generally wash and quarter the potatoes and cook them to within about 5 minutes of done, then toss them in a bowl with the Pickle Phat or Original Dill Phat,  put them back in the oven with the temp up from 325 to 375 to caramelize the sauce.
